Ivo Karlovic joins the 10000 aces club

The second set followed a similar pattern, but it looked like the Canadian had passed a key test when he survived three match points in the 10th game, with the crowd coming to life after two fine winners from the 24-year-old.

It could be a tough next round match for the unseeded Canadian as he battles John Isner who reached the finals of the Citi Open in Washington DC just last week. He upset Isner in his first match, then beat Radek Stepanek and sixth-ranked Tomas Berdych. When Nikolay Davydenko retired by having an infection, he got towards the semifinals.

It ended with a loss for Raonic, however the efficiency put Pospisil into the world’s prime 40 for the primary time. A deep run is certainly one thing that I need to obtain this week. In 2013, he reached the finals before losing to Rafael Nadal and just last year, he got through to the quarters. “There’s very few things I wouldn’t give up for health right now”. “It was such a special week for me”.

“However that’s good. I can simply take constructive issues from that. That’s type of the objective”. His compatriot Goran Ivanisevic is ahead of him with 10,183 career aces.

Karlovic offered a sign of what was to come later in the contest as he quickly clinched the control in the tie-break before securing a 7-1 win as Raonic’s errors gifted his opponent the lead.

The six-foot- six and five Raonic -foot- using the Croatian earning the ace fight 22 to 12 11 destroyed acts at one another. He also created a bit of personal history with his 250th win at the Masters 1000 level. Karlovic and the 1,000 handed job bullets tag.

Nick Kyrgios outlasted veteran Fernando Verdasco 6-Three, Four-6, 6-Four together with his fellow Australian Lleyton Hewitt wanting on. There are rumours that Hewitt is now coaching the 20-year-old, but Kyrgios said: “He’s definitely not my coach, let’s clear that up now”. “I mean, I was really focused and aggressive (in the tiebreaks)”.

He advanced to a second round meeting with third seeded Stan Wawrinka, who beat him earlier this year on a grass court.

It was a brief Rogers Cup for Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont. who misplaced 6-2, 6-Four to Pablo Andujar.

“I felt like, prior to this event I played pretty much”, stated a dejected Dancevic, a wild-card access in to the Rogers Mug whose world position has dropped in a period to 213th.

Sock beat Adrian Mannarino 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7/5) while Dimitrov eliminated Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 7-5.

Karlovic will play either Richard Gasquet or Leonardo Mayer next.
